1. Burschville School Marker
Built in 1894
The land was donated by Peter and Mary Weinand, who owned the farm next door. It is one of the last one-room schools in Hennepin County still located on its original site and has always been maintained as a school.
Served Grades 1-8 for 71 Years
There was one teacher for all grades and that teacher would teach all subjects to the different grades throughout the school day. The school had no running water and each morning two students would carry water from the Weinand farm to the school for washing hands and drinking during the school day.
The School Closed its Doors in 1967
The remaining students were sent to Buffalo School District. The Burschville School has been owned and maintained by North Hennepin Pioneer Society since 1967.
Listen to the Bell
The bell would call the children in for school at the beginning of the day and when recess was over. Ring it yourself as it harkens you back to those carefree days of youth!
